Lyrics for A Minor Place as interpreted by cardamom

A Minor Place Lyrics
I've been to a minor place
and I can say I like its face
if I am gone and with no trace
I will be in a minor place

well I put the shoes in line
separate the women mine
as we do what we do fine
so victorious, so benign

chorus

only take the weather warm
and the job that does me harm
the scars of last year's storm
rest like maggots on my arm

chorus

thank you man if for the thought
that all my loving can be bought
was wisely in your gullet caught
before my loyalty you sought

chorus

o it's not a desert nor a web
nor a tomb where I lay dead
minor in a sound alone
yes a clear commanding tone

singing from my little point
and aching in my every joint
I thank the world it will anoint me
if I show it how I hold it

i'm working a summer job at a concrete plant in midloathian (aka middle of nowhere), texas. it seems like the type of place you go to get forgotten. this song seems pretty appropriate.

It's not about nothing happening. A minor place is a good place. It's not Springsteen, it's much more existential. It's a mental place. And death.

a minor place is the state of depression. not necessarily bad however as how can one know happiness if he doesn't know sadness. this is what makes life so great. i think this is a theme of the whole album. life is sometimes crap so enjoy the good stuff.

this song is just about life being transitory, it's all just a "minor place" we're in

I think he's referring to a place where there's less importance, less "gravity". Kind of like being on avacation,

Almost two years without a comment on this song?
It's still fantastic. The echo-y piano parts are pretty great.

Also, minor chords (guitar an other) sound distinctively more melancholy than major chords.
